Cougar Roar Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

You don’t need to get up at dawn to join the special wildlife trek safari offered by Manna Play slots. Cougar Roar makes it really easy to enjoy all that nature has to offer. Along the way you will be treated to glimpses of several impressive wild animals and have the chance to grab some free spins too.

Graphics & Soundtrack 

Cougar Roar opens to the image of oversized reels, set against a background featuring a craggy mountain range and a piercing sun high in the sky. The main symbols that fill the reels are carefully drawn heads of a range of wild animals. Look out for an eagle, ram, buffalo, alpaca, and of course, a cougar, which is the wild. Four picture playing card symbols complete the lineup.

We enjoyed the entertaining background soundtrack, with its rhythmic African drums and a range of realistic animal calls. Unlike some slots, Cougar Roar has both background and in-play sounds, although the latter are a bit disappointing. 

The reels spin to the standard slot clicks and whirrs, but the excitement of a win is overshadowed by short, loud, bursts of notes that announces the fact over and over, and won’t quit until you spin again. [We strongly recommend being familiar with the volume controls before spinning those reels!].

Cougar Roar RTP and Variance

A fairly average return to player rate of 95.65% is guaranteed for this exciting wildlife slot, and this is coupled with a high volatility level rating.

How to Play Cougar Roar

It’s easy to spot the control buttons you use to set up the slot, and to make any changes needed as you go, as they sit directly under and to the right side of the reels.

There are quite a lot of them so try not to be overwhelmed. Some are more important than others, so if you are new to this slot our brief guide to playing Cougar Roar should help. To keep it simple, we run through each button in turn, so you can dip in and out as you need to.

1. Starting from the far left are 3 lines which, when clicked, reveal controls for both the sounds and the information panel.
2. Jumping past the ticker message box is a circle with flames that activates turbo mode for speedy spinning. This must be deactivated manually when you want to return to normal.
3. Autoplay is next, and one-click here leads to preset figures between 5 and a whopping 250. If you want to spin for any other number of times there’s a sideways 8 icon that allows for that.
4. The spin symbol is impossible to miss, with its lovely stone effect surface, and it’s right next to the last button which is all about setting up your chosen bet size. 
5. The symbols shown down the right side of the screen are there to display current stats. From the top - the rosette highlights each win; the briefcase shows the number of fun credits still in the bank, while the final image displays the bet size set at that moment.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

In fun mode the bet size options range from a low of 0.2 to a top rate of 20 credits, and these are very easy to adjust as you like.

Cougar Roar offers credit prizes for players who land 3, 4 or 5 matches on one spin. None could be accused of being over generous at first glance. The payouts shown here are triggered after making between 3 and 5 matches.

The cougar pays from 0.6 - 6 credits 

The eagle pays from 0.2 - 2.4 credits

The buffalo pays from 0.16 - 2 credits

The ram pays from 0.12 - 1.2 credits

The alpaca pays from 0.08 - 0.6 credits

The card symbols A, K, Q, J pay from 0.02 - 0.32 credits

Cougar Roar Bonus Features 

Extra opportunities to boost the credit piggy bank are thin on the ground so we’ve included the wild cougar here. This can help create a winning line if it lands in the right place.

It’s the scatter that leads to the main bonus prize of free spins. You need at least 3 on the reels at one time to grab those freebies.

• 3 scatters award 10 free spins 
• 4 scatters award 15 free spins 
• 5 scatters award 25 free spins 

The surprise add on feature is the multiplier of either x1, x2, or x3. The number you get is awarded randomly, which adds further excitement to this fun game.

Cougar Roar Review 

We found Cougar Roar to be a slot with an unusual blend of quite basic options in terms of payouts and bonuses, but with graphics and sounds of a more complicated game. Despite, or maybe because of this, it’s charming, and definitely worth playing. Take the free spins bonus, which includes a surprise multiplier feature.

Another straightforward option for animal fans has to be the Cats slot, which boasts 243 win-ways and a free spins bonus
